Rimworld Dev Tracker

Hey, thanks for the awesome game! Having a lot of fun playing it.

Just a quick question though. My friend bought me rimworld as a gift, and helped me download it on my laptop since I'm not the most tech savvy person around. Not through steam, but the way that gave a "DRM-free personal download link". It doesn't look like my copy of rimworld has updated to 1.1 though? Top left of my screen still says 1.0.2408. How/when can I update it?

Also, can I get the royalty DLC on this version of Rimworld or not? Since, again, I don't use steam.

I ended up with a royalty visiting me and he had a mental break and missed his shuttle. Somehow he ended up joining my colony five minutes after it started with him constantly being sad that he is living in a dirt hovel. But he can summon godlike reinforcements and can shoot pretty well.

May be a bit of a stretch, but is there a way to do the opposite and get a drm free copy if we have it on steam?

Tynan please i would like to hear a definitive answer from you regarding DLC-requirement flag for mods, not just speculations from random people.

If there was/is mod that used some content that is now in the DLC directly or via concept, is it going to be flagged as DLC-required?

Is there any limit to stuff people can mod and use without the DLC?

Connected to previous questions, is this DLC in any form limiting to modders in terms of having to actually have to own the DLC? Is in clear theory possible to recreate this DLC as a free mod or will modder hit big wall "Buy here"?

I dont really want RimWorld to end up like Paradox or Bethesda games where one has to own DLC´s for the mods to work in a first place because devs decided that some features are at premium and unmoddable without paying first.

I am not saying that i dont want to buy your DLC or anything. Its just matter of principle regarding freedom of modding and using mods. I still think ...

I believe they added ducks/horses/etc from Vanilla Expanded into 1.1, which was, of course, free.

I remember the early days of Rim World and how involved the players were through the entire process all the way up until the point where Tynan stopped putting out his daily changelog notes. (Not sure what he called it) . It was always a daily ritual coming home from a dull day at work and immediately digging through the forums for little nuggets of what was changing or could change, what I agreed with and what I didn't, what I thought should happen versus what other people thought about the same topic. I really enjoyed being part of that process and even sometimes getting a reply from Tynan himself! I really got the feeling that he was listening to us for the entire time and it felt great. This was at the same time where other games would be stumbling over themselves to find that magic formula of the early access model.

The secret is that the players know best! If something is obviously out of whack about 500 people are going to notice it immediately and tell the develope...

I don't think that I've ever seen a modder that wasn't ecstatic that their mod got incorporated into the base game. I even heard a rumor that the Vanilla Extended guy got hired by Ludeon, and that had something to do with his livestock mod getting incorporated, but I can't verify that.

Hey will you ever update the fiction primer to go along with the new DLC? I loved how it set up rim world and would love to see how it would incorporate the dlc

Can you confirm that the sight of money pouring into your bank account is making you feel warm and fuzzy inside and that we're good boys and girls for buying the DLC?

If I get the DLC, can I choose to not have it activated during a playthrough? Like, if I wanted the vanilla experience again for a new colony, could I disable the DLC?

Adding the DLC to an existing save seems to only add one location for the royal faction, unless a mod I had caused that somehow...?

So... Vague question in the hopes of a vague answer... Is there any more DLC planned? I'd understand if you didn't want to answer to avoid committing to something but hey, it can't hurt to ask!

I mean I was actually impressed how I got excited about the new features of the royalty DLC.

Mechanoid bases? Can't remember a good mod for that.

Quests? Yeah I mean there are mods that events/quests but not the ones that are added by the DLC. The hosting quests especially have nothing to do with the hopistality mod and I am particularly hyped about the construction quests.

New way to end the game? We had the one from rimgenetics and kind of save our ship 2 I think, this is another one that is achievable in a completely different way, that's interesting damn.

New tech level that mixes old tech and futuristic tech? Find me one good mod that has this retrofuturistic theme, because I don't remember seeing it. I've seen medieval mods, glittertech mods, dozens of other glittertech/spacer level tech but steampunk or whatever type of punk this tech is, nope.

Pyschic powers? I know only one mod that does that, it's been released in november of 2019 a...

I made the mistake of getting it from steam the first time. If I get the expansion from your website can I use it on my steam base game?

I wonder who is the artist, it makes me think of Lanfeust de Troy.

But if we do like it, it means that we have to restart our colonies and that is what is killing me!

Well this is exciting! Love the additions.

Does Ludeon get the full $ amount if I purchase from their website instead of Steam?

[warning - what follows is a very nerdy rant]

I'm still confused as to whether this is a full on space empire or just a local faction we're dealing with here. Who sends the Emperor of dozens of planets to colonize a rimworld? That vast distance between our rimworlds and everything else was part of the charm of rimworld for me. You're truly all alone and have been completely abandoned in a strange and hard universe, where all semblance of society and structure is trillions of miles away and it's up to you to make both of those things on your own. No one can help you, there is no meaning or purpose to your time on the rim but what you make of it, whether that includes escaping to that vast beyond and finding hyperbliss on a glitterworld, wreaking brutal havock on your neighbors, or something else: anything else you can imagine because the setting is so free. It's true freedom, a faction striking out by itself to survive in what is really a tormented sci fi hellscape half the ...
